These savory pastry pockets are filled with a delightful combination of chicken, ham, and cheese, making them a perfect meal or snack.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced ham, and shredded Swiss cheese.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the ingredients.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 rectangles, pressing the perforations to seal.
Use a rolling pin to smooth out the dough if needed.
Divide the filling mixture evenly among the rectangles, placing it in the center of each.
Avoid overfilling to prevent the pockets from bursting.
Bring the corners of each rectangle together over the filling and twist to seal. Pinch the edges to ensure they are closed.
Dampen your fingers with water to help seal the edges.
Place the pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Leave space between the pockets for even baking.
Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Use a light hand to avoid the egg pooling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.
Check the pockets halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the pockets cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
